Hem Raj BC (Nepali: हेम राज बी सी; born December 30, 1985) is a prominent Nepalese film director, screenwriter, and producer known for his contributions to the Nepali cinema.[1] BC marked his directorial debut with the 2013 film "Hostel," featuring Anmol K.C.[2]
Hem Raj BC was born in Chhinchu-7, Surkhet, to his parents Khadga Bahadur Buddha (father) and Tulsi Devi Buddha (mother). His family later relocated to Nepalgunj, where he completed his secondary education.[3] From a young age, BC had a keen interest in cinema, immersing himself in Bollywood and world cinema, which served as a profound source of inspiration for his filmmaking aspirations.[3] In an era when Nepal lacked film colleges, at the age of 19, BC embarked on a solo journey to Mumbai, determined to pursue his dreams.
Hem Raj BC returned to Nepal in 2012 following the passing of his father, and he made the decision to remain in his home country. It was during this time that he wrote and directed his inaugural Nepali film, "Hostel" (2013), featuring the debutant actor Anmol K.C.. "Hostel" centered around the teenage drama of hostel life and the bonds of friendship, and it achieved significant success at the box office.[4] BC garnered extensive praise and recognition for his work on the project, marking a significant milestone in his filmmaking career.[5]
BC's second film, "Jerryy" (2014), featuring Anmol K.C. and Anna Sharma, is a romantic drama that centers around the protagonist, Jerryy, and the challenges he encounters in his love life with Akansha. While the film received a positive response from the audience, solidifying the positions of both Anmol K.C. and Hem Raj BC in the Nepali film industry, critical reviews were mixed.
In 2015, Hem Raj BC's storytelling took on a new dimension with the crime thriller "Sambodhan," addressing corruption, and starring Dayahang Rai and Namrata Shrestha, earning acclaim from critics.[6]
His 2016 film "Gajalu" featured Shristi Shrestha as a former Kumari and explored myths and superstitions around ex-Kumaris, set against the backdrop of the Kathmandu Valley's Yenya festival. The film interwove these themes with the concept of modern-day friendship. "Gajalu" achieved success in Nepalese cinema, securing awards like Best Director and Best Screenplay at Dcine Awards 2074 and Best Director and Best Story at Kamana Film Awards 2074.[7]
In 2017, Hem Raj BC directed "Gangster Blues," a crime thriller and love story set in the Terai region of Nepal, featuring debutant actor Aashirman DS Joshi and Anna Sharma.[8]
BC's 2019 endeavors included "The Break Up," a unique love story partly filmed in Australia, though it did not perform well at the box office.[9] Additionally, "Ghamad Shere" in the same year, starring Nischal Basnet and Swastima Khadka, delved into social issues in Nepalese society, focusing on Shere's struggles in the context of a newly formed republic.[10] The film explored themes of dark humor, undesirable romance, and satire regarding current political issues in Nepal.[11]
